so i'm about to, once brought back o 100%, embark on customizing my Alesis Ion. I'm going to paint the whole chassis, redo the decals, replace the knobs (most likely), and either paint the side panels, or get custom wooden ones made.

Red gloss is great - I painted a cheap brother organ - shades of red gloss and stickers - made it look really cool - it's on a swampdwarf Youtube if you wanna see it - though the music was all DW8000 - how ever much I painted it, it still stayed a 'one trick poney'!!

"On the following day , the sorcery undespairingly continued: I changed my series, chose other sequences, cut other lengths, spliced different progressions, and hoped afresh for a miracle in sound." (Stockhausen)
